    This was a great purchase and the price was right. Because Bestbuy will match online vendors, there is no reason not to buy local.

    Mid Sized SSD with NO CABLES

    For the price I would like a larger SSD but this one is of decent size and from a good brand. My biggest complaint: it was not made clear that this SSD did not come with ANY cables. That should have been specifically noted on the product page. To make matters worse, I had to go to Micro Center because my local Best Buy and even the Best Buy website didn't have SATA data cables with a 6gb transfer speed. Don't sell SSDs with that speed if you aren't going to sell the necessary cables. I am just lucky there is a Micro Center near by that stocks a wide selection of such cables. I have always counted on Best Buy (the website if not the store) to have what I need so this lapse was very disappointing.

    Excellent product that lives up to its specifications. I had one minor issue at the setup. Because my C-Drive was smaller than the purchased 480GBs, I had to also purchase the Apricorn data transfer cable/SW to extend the capacity.

    Replace a WD Black, as my main drive that all my programs were installed on. Much faster load times between maps or etc.

    Solid State Hard Drives are the best thing to do for a computer that is not too old, versus buying a new one.
